Theology and Religion 2024 | De Gruyter

Wissenschaftliches Publizieren braucht Vertrauen, Erfahrung und Innovation. Wenn sich die Verlage De Gruyter und Brill in diesem Jahr zusammenschließen zu De Gruyter Brill, kommen große Traditionen, erfahrene Teams und innovative Programme zusammen. De Gruyter Brill bildet künftig einen starken und leistungsfähigen Partner für die Wissenschaft.

Gemeinsam mit unseren Autor*innen und Herausgeber*innen entwickeln wir die vielfältigen Programme weiter und bleiben verlässliche Ansprechpartner.

Wir freuen uns, im diesjährigen De Gruyter Neuerscheinungsverzeichnis Theologie und Religion wieder ein spannendes Programm vorstellen zu dürfen.

160 Jahre nach Gründung der Arbeitsstelle des Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum im Jahr 1864 stellt diese ihre andauernde wissenschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit mit Editionen neuentdeckter Predigthandschriften des sog. PseudoMakarios sowie der Erstedition von Contra Eutychetem des Vigilius Thapsensis unter Beweis (S. 18 and 21).

Das mehrbändige Handbook of Qurʾānic Hermeneutics beleuchtet alle Epochen der Interpretation des Qur’ān von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart (S. 50). Die ersten zwei Bände zur Koranhermeneutik des 13.-19. bzw. des 19.–20. Jahrhunderts erscheinen in diesem Jahr, die übrigen folgen 2025. Das auf sieben Bände angelegte Global Secularity – A Sourcebook startet mit ersten Bänden in 2024 (S. 65) und gibt einen umfassenden Überblick auf Quellentexte zur Entwicklung von Säkularität weltweit.

Verschiedene neue Reihen im Bereich Islamwissenschaft spiegeln die Dynamik und Vielfalt dieses Faches wider. Erste Bände erscheinen in: Anthropology of Islam (S.61), Kalām Studies (S. 55), Comparative Theology, Islam, and Society (S. 54 sowie Sufism Studies (S. 56).

Auch Bewährtes entwickelt sich weiter: So veröffentlicht die Reihe Beihefte der Zeitschrift für die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft in diesem Jahr bereits ihren 560. Band (S. 8ff.), die Beihefte zur neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft (S. 12f.) feierten letztes Jahr ihr einhundertjähriges Bestehen und die Studia Judaica kann – jetzt mit neuer Covergestaltung – auf mehr als 125 Bände blicken (S. 44ff.). Unsere Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception veröffentlicht Bände 22 und 23 (S. 15f.), mit den Stichworten „Og (King of Bashan)“ bis „Philanthropy“. Das gesamte Team von De Gruyter Theologie und Religion (S. 89f.) dankt unseren Autor*innen für das Vertrauen, welches sie in uns setzen, und allen Leserinnen und Lesern für das Interesse an unseren Publikationen.

Academic publishing needs trust, experience and innovation. When the publishers De Gruyter and Brill merge this year to form De Gruyter Brill, great traditions, experienced teams and innovative programs will come together. In the future, De Gruyter Brill will be a strong and efficient partner for academia. Together with our authors and editors, we will continue to develop our diverse programs and remain a reliable partner.

We are delighted to be able to present another exciting program in this year’s De Gruyter catalog Theology and Religion 160 years after the founding of the Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum in 1864, the research unit is demonstrating its continuing scholarly vigor with editions of newly discovered sermon manuscripts of the so-called Pseudo-Makarios and the first edition of Contra Eutychetem by Vigilius Thapsensis (pp. 18 and 21).

The multi-volume Handbook of Qurʾānic Hermeneutics illuminates all epochs of Qur’ān interpretation from the beginnings to the present (p. 50). The first two volumes on Qur’ānic hermeneutics from the 13th-19th and 19th-20th centuries respectively will be published this year, with the others following in 2025.

The seven-volume Global Secularity – A Sourcebook starts with the first volumes in 2024 (p. 65) and provides a comprehensive overview of source texts on the development of secularity worldwide.

Various new series in the field of Islamic Studies reflect the dynamism and diversity of this subject. The first volumes appear in: Anthropology of Islam (p. 61), Kalām Studies (p. 55), Comparative Theology, Islam, and Society (p. 54) and Sufism Studies (p. 56).

Well-established publications also continue to develop: the series Beihefte der Zeitschrift für die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft is already publishing its 560th volume this year (pp. 8–11), the Beihefte zur neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft (pp. 12–13) celebrated its one hundredth anniversary last year and Studia Judaica – now with a new cover design – can look back on more than 125 volumes (pp. 44–46). Our Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception published volumes 22 and 23 (pp. 15–16), with entries ranging from “Og (King of Bashan)” to “Philanthropy”.

The entire team at De Gruyter Theologie und Religion (pp. 89–90) would like to thank our authors for the trust they place in us and all readers for their interest in our publications.

In this volume, scholars from different fields examine the temporality of festivals of the past. They show that we can use astronomical documents, calendars, and literary texts to recover how people in the past structured and experienced festive time, shedding new light on festive time in general: on how it is distinguished from everyday time and on why it can be such a rich and special experience of time.

„Die Zeit" gibt es nicht und doch ordnet sich alles, was wir erleben, zeitlich. Dieser Band zeigt, warum es irreführend ist, Zeit als einen Gegenstand zu betrachten und was man alles aus Analogien zwischen Abläufen und aus dem Vergleich der Taktung von Ereignissen lernen kann. Umfangreiche Bezugnahmen auf die Musik und allgemeiner das Hören lassen diese grundlegenden Struktureigenschaften der Wirklichkeit exemplarisch anklingen.

This volume shows why it is misleading to view time as an object, exploring the insights that can be gained from analogies between sequences and by comparing event timings. Incorporating extensive references to music and, more broadly, to the act of listening provides illuminating glimpses into these fundamental structural properties of reality.

The Hebrew and Greek terms for "people" and "nation" and the name "Israel" are closely analyzed, especially in forays into wisdom literature, Jewish apologetic and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Divine Names are a key component in the communication between humans and gods in Antiquity. The book collects 36 essays pertaining to many different contexts – Egypt, Anatolia, Levant, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome – which address the multiple functions and wide scope of divine onomastics. In a diachronic and comparative perspective, divine names shed light on how polytheisms and monotheisms work as complex systems embedded in an historical framework.

In einem ersten Band werden Inschriften aus Nordsyrien und Palmyra aufgelistet und analysiert. Damit wird seit fast 100 Jahren eine neue Katalogisierung und Analyse semitischer Personennamen vorgelegt, die für die Klassische Altertumskunde gleichermaßen von Interesse ist wie für die Bibelwissenschaft.

This volume focuses on the thorny relations between empires and religions. All empires employed religious semantics and religious rituals in their practice of rulership, and many invested substantial human and material resources in furthering specific religious ideas or personnel. Many were also challenged by the religious establishment. The contributions explore these dynamics in major Eurasian continental empires throughout history.

The force and authority of divine law in the Hebrew Bible, with its demand for perfect justice and unfailing obedience, presents a striking contrast with the evidence of personal data preserved in archival and epigraphic sources. This volume explores these intriguing differentials in Neo-Babylonian, Persian, and Graeco-Roman records, as they inform the historical context from which early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism developed in antiquity.

An examination of MT Esther’s relationship to the Joseph story, this study employs an intertextual approach to demonstrate the authorial intent, historical development, and theological purpose of Esther’s interactions with Genesis 37-50. While this work is firmly rooted in the intertextual field, it also contributes to Scroll criticism by demonstrating how Esther’s allusions to Joseph articulate the disputed religious stance of the book.

Die Studie rekonstruiert die Genese der Tempelweiherzählung, um ihr historisch auf die Spur zu kommen. Dafür müssen in Teil I Lücken in der textkritischen Grundlagenforschung geschlossen werden (vor allem LXX).

Auf dieser Grundlage wird in Teil II nach der Literargeschichte gefragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die historischen Ursprünge der Erzählung nicht in der Königszeit, sondern in der Zeit des Zweiten Tempels liegen. Tempelweihe; Tempelweihspruch; Salomon; Bundeslade

This study reconstructs the genesis of the story of the temple dedication to trace its historical development. To do so, Part I closes gaps in the basic text-critical research (especially LXX). This is the foundation on which Part II investigates its literary history. The findings show that the historical origins of the story lie not to the age of kings but in the age of the Second Temple.

Dieser Band eröffnet Perspektiven für die Weiterentwicklung atl. Exegese in ihrer methodischen Vielfalt: Er begründet, wie sie radikaler historisch und damit radikaler kanonisch werden muss und zeigt vielfältige Bedeutungen von Mythos, Geschichte und Vernunft für das atl. Schrifttum. Beispiele zu methodischer Hybridität und zu Exegese als durchsichtigem und offenem Spiel flankieren den abschließenden Entwurf einer hermeneutischen Praxistheorie.

This volume opens up new perspectives on the developing methodological diversity of Old Testament exegesis. It sets out how it must become radically historical and therefore radically canonical, while revealing the wide-ranging significance of myth, history, and reason in Old Testament writing. Examples of methodological hybridity and exegesis as a transparent, open game flank the concluding sketch of a hermeneutical theory of practice.

This book documents the collection of papers that were presented at an international and interreligious conference at Greifswald to celebrate the Gustaf Dalman Institute’s 100 anniversary. While, and precisely because, the cultural and religious heritage of the Southern Levant can no longer be researched as it was in the institute’s early days, this centenary offers a welcome opportunity to acknowledge Dalman’s groundbreaking studies.

Wie wird das Recht in der Hebräischen Bibel begründet? In textgeschichtlichen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen stellt die vorliegende Arbeit anhand des Bundesbuches dar, wie Recht und Erzählung im Pentateuch verflochten sind und sich wechselseitig mit Sinn anreichern. Dabei wird für einzelne Textzeugen gezeigt, wie die Begründungszusammenhänge des Rechts in den Horizonten unterschiedlicher Konzeptionen von Tora zugespitzt werden.

In this insightful study, the dynamics of Judah's perceived inferiority and desire come to the forefront. The work observes how Judah's aspiration led them to merge their Abraham narrative with North Israel’s Jacob narrative, a pivotal reorientation of Israel’s past. Drawing parallels with ancient East Asian dynamics, this book offers a unique perspective on Judah’s identity politics and the complex tapestry of Israel’s ancestral past.

Joseph and Aseneth is increasingly used as a source for Judaism and Christianity at the turn of the Common Era. This study moves away from edited versions and returns to the sources to consider how redaction and translation affected its interpretation. Important contributions include the first synoptic edition of the Greek texts, analysis of the Syriac and Armenian translations, and an investigation of four abridged versions of the work.

Das Markusevangelium endet mit Angst und Schrecken am leeren Grab. Die Autorin untersucht dieses Emotionsvokabular erstmals umfassend mit einer Kombination aus narratologischen und semantischen Methoden. Es zeigt sich, dass bei Markus die Bedeutung „Angst“ gegenüber „Ehrfurcht“ deutlich überwiegt und mit den Themen Vertrauensmangel und Unverständnis verbunden ist.

Dies lässt sich als Reaktion auf Umstände der Entstehungszeit plausibel machen.

Markusevangelium; Emotionsgeschichte; Angst; Narratologie

The Gospel of Mark ends in fear and horror at the empty tomb. This volume is the first to explore this emotional vocabulary in detail using a combination of narratological and semantic methods. It reveals that, in Mark, "fear" is clearly more significant than "reverence" and is linked to themes of distrust and misunderstanding. This can be explained as a reaction to circumstances at the time the text was written.

How early Christian gospels were written is an old question that continues to engage scholars. This book argues that the Gospel of Luke’s use of the earlier Gospel of Mark should be placed in the context of "Rewritten Scripture"—early Jewish writings like Jubilees and Josephus’s Antiquities, which interpret Scripture by rewriting it. A similar strategy of interpretation through rewriting best explains Luke’s reworking of Mark. Luke; New Testament; Synoptic Gospels; Early Christianity

Johannes wird oft als ein geistliches Evangelium wahrgenommen, in dem es vor allem um das Heil der Gläubigen gehe – Schöpfung sei ein Randthema. Die Studie durchbricht solche anthropozentrischen Denkmuster, indem sie die Schöpfung als Ganzes untersucht. Durch die Anwendung eines umfassenden Verständnisses kommt nicht nur die Schöpfung am Anfang der Welt in den Blick, sondern auch das kontinuierliche Schöpferwirken sowie die Neuschöpfung. Schöpfung; Johannesevangelium; Neues Testament; Frühjudentum

John is often perceived as a spiritual gospel that is primarily about the salvation of believers; creation becomes a marginal topic. The study breaks such anthropocentric thinking patterns by examining creation as a whole. By applying a comprehensive understanding of creation, Shoukry illuminates a Christcentered creation theology in John, expanding beyond creation at the beginning to an ongoing process, and culminating in a new creation.

This book offers a nuanced analysis of the “super-apostles” of 2 Corinthians, arguing that rival apostles who valued their Judaism and relied on community financial support would find in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians ample reason to turn against him. In doing so, this book explores how misunderstandings and misinterpretations can fracture church communities and cause a ripple effect of conflict and accusation.

This book investigates how the early Greek whole-Bible manuscripts change and preserve the text. It critiques the method based on singular readings and challenges accepted transcriptions of Codex Ephraemi. It crosses disciplines, covering both the New Testament and LXX. It shows that the textual characteristics of the manuscripts vary across the canon, but that theological changes are consistently rarer than linguistic or transcriptional changes.

Die Bildlichkeit von Schrift steht in der Forschung seit einigen Jahren hoch im Kurs. Dies trägt der grundlegenden Erkenntnis Rechnung, dass Schrift nicht nur gelesen, sondern immer auch geschaut wird, dass Buchstaben nicht nur geschrieben, sondern auch gemeißelt, geritzt und gemalt werden können. Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Rolle den Schriftbildern im mittelalterlichen Kirchenraum bei der Suggestion von Sakralität zukam.

The pictoriality of writing has been a major research topic for some years now. This reflects the fact that writing is not just read but always seen as well, that letters are not just written but can also be carved, scratched, and painted. This volume asks how the appearance of writing suggested sacredness in the medieval church space.

This volume offers a linguistic analysis of the Book of Leviticus from the so-called Gözleve Bible (1841), a printed Crimean Karaim Bible translation penned in Hebrew script. Crimean Karaim, and thus the language of this edition, displays mixed characteristics, sparking scholarly debate. Alongside the showcasing and discussion of such linguistic attributes, the study also provides a transcription, translation, and facsimile of the original text.

Dieser Band ediert die Kommentare zu den Psalmen 51–71 des Eusebius von Cäsarea (ca. 265–340), also den Teil des zweiten Davidpsalters, dessen Kommentierung durch Eusebius integral überliefert ist. Die Neuedition basiert auf der Auswertung des einzigen Textzeugen dieser Überlieferung (Codex Coisl. 44) und bezieht auch die relevanten Katenenfragmente ein. Dadurch konnten an vielen Stellen Verbesserungen des bisher bekannten Textes erzielt werden.

This volume edits the commentaries by Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 265–340) on Psalms 51–71, the part of the Second Psalter of David whose commentary by Eusebius has survived in its entirety. The new edition is based on the evaluation of the only textual witness of this tradition (Codex Coisl. 44) and also includes the relevant fragments of the Catechesis. This has made it possible to improve the previously known text in many places.

Das Schreiben einer antiochenischen Synode wenige Monate vor dem Konzil von Nizäa (325) ist in seiner historischen Authentizität stets umstritten geblieben. Hier wird es neu ediert, überlieferungsgeschichtlich eingeordnet und in einem Kommentar umfassend philologisch und historisch aufgearbeitet. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die Echtheit des Textes verteidigt und die Ereignisabfolge und -dynamik in den Monaten vor dem Konzil von Nizäa neu bewertet.

The authenticity of a letter written by an Antiochian synod a few months before the Council of Nicaea (325) has long been contested. This book offers a new edition of the letter, places it within its historical-critical context, and discusses its philology and history in a detailed commentary. It defends the text’s authenticity and assesses the series of events that took place in the months leading up to the Council of Nicaea and their dynamics.

Die neu entdeckte lateinische Übersetzung der Predigten des so genannten PseudoMakarios wird in diesem Band erstmals in kritischer Edition vorgelegt. Sie ist in einer Handschrift des 6. Jh. überliefert, die einige Jahrhunderte später mit dem Text der Gedichte des Horaz überschrieben wurde. Der ursprüngliche Text, von dem 16 Blätter erhalten sind, kann durch spezielle Aufnahmetechniken und Bildbearbeitung zum größten Teil entziffert werden.

The texts of (1) The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity, (2) The Account of Montanus, Lucius, and their Companions, and (3) The Life of Cyprian of Carthage are stories that offered post traumatic pathways to recovery for its historical readership.

Das siebte Jahrhundert wird in der Forschung nicht selten stiefmütterlich behandelt. In diesem Zeitraum gewinnt jedoch vor allem die Institution des Papsttums deutlich an Macht. Im Kontext der Konfrontationen mit Kaiser und Patriarch in Konstantinopel sowie der letzten großen christologischen Auseinandersetzung untersucht diese Arbeit die zunehmend machtvolle Repräsentation des Bischofs von Rom, die nicht nur im Westen auf fruchtbaren Boden fällt.

The seventh century is often overlooked by scholarship, yet it was a period in which the institution of the papacy gained considerable power. This volume delves into conflicts with the Emperor and Patriarch in Constantinople, as well as the last significant Christological dispute, to examine the Bishop of Rome’s increasingly influential representation, which also found fertile ground beyond the West.

The authors of Irish saints’ Lives used the literary form of hagiography (Christian biography), miracle stories, and an elaborate rhetorical style to present the words and actions of their subjects. These Lives created a narrative of early Irish history that supported the political/ecclesiastical elites by showing that their power derived from the actions of their patron saints.

Das Buch bietet einen Gesamtüberblick über die Entwicklung des Dombaues in den wichtigsten Konfessionen des globalen, bischöflich verfassten Christentums. Der Horizont ist aber weniger architektur- bzw. kunstgeschichtlich als kirchen- bzw. konfessionsgeschichtlich: Verstanden wird die Geschichte des Dombaus als Paradigma für die Geschichte des Christentums allgemein, auch für seine weiteren Perspektiven in Europa und den übrigen Kontinenten.

Konfessionsgeschichte; Sakralbau; Architektur

This book provides an overview of the development of cathedral construction in the most important confessions of global, episcopal Christianity. However, it has less to do with architecture or art history than with church and confessional history. The volume views the history of cathedral construction as a paradigm of both the history of Christianity in general and its ongoing prospects in Europe and the rest of the world.

The monastery of Saint-Amand made, in the late ninth century, a series of deluxe manuscripts for celebration of Mass (sacramentaries). Such a corpus is unique so early. This book shows how the monks continually worked at improving and reorganizing the tradition, reacting to historic circumstance (e.g. Vikings). It is the first study of this corpus and uses palaeographical, art historical, and liturgical analysis to understand their work.

This volume describes the life and work of Mainz’s archbishops between 1089 and 1200 – when the enforcement of the papal primacy articulated by Gregory VII and the development of territorial power in the archdiocese, stretching from the Rhein to the Saale, played a major role in archdiocesan politics. The archdiocese had an influence on imperial political decisions, as demonstrated by Adalbert’s I actions during the royal elections of 1125.

Der dominikanische Drittorden wurde 1405 approbiert und diente vorwiegend der Integration bereits existierender Gruppen von Lai:innen (z. B. Beginen) in den Predigerorden. Dieser Band untersucht erstmals ausführlich die Einführung der Drittregel im deutschsprachigen Raum sowie die verschiedenen Lebensformen von Drittordensleuten. Er leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Verbindung von Ordens-, Religions- und Sozialgeschichte im ausgehenden Mittelalter. Predigerorden; Dominikaner-/innen; Drittorden; 15. Jahrhundert

The Dominican Third Rule was approved in in 1405 and helped to integrate existing groups of laypeople (like Beguines) into the Order of Preachers. This volume is the first to fully examine the introduction of the Third Rule in the German-speaking regions as well as the different lifestyles practiced by people in third orders, thereby creating links between the history of orders, and the religious and social history of the late Middle Ages.

The beginnings of the Reformation in Siebenbürgen, an area of settlement relatively far removed from the "core lands" of the Reformation (Saxony, Southwest Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands) and populated by Germans/Hungarians began very early, but encountered significant opposition. This volume paints a picture of the development in light of new sources, drawing out the special features of the Siebenbürgen Reformation.

Das Herz hatte eine zentrale Stellung in den Bildmedien religiöser Frauengemeinschaften der Frühen Neuzeit. Maria Schaller analysiert Porträts und bildtragende Schmuckstücke, die in katholischen Nonnenklöstern und protestantischen Damenstiften entstanden. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, inwiefern die präsentierten Körperbilder und Imaginationen des Herzens Aushandlungsprozesse im Spannungsfeld von Konfession, Stand und Geschlecht widerspiegeln.

The heart had a key position in the visual media of religious women’s communities in the early modern era. Maria Schaller analyzes portraits and image-bearing jewelry created in Catholic nunneries and Protestant women’s convents during the 17th and 18th centuries; these address ideas such as the indwelling, imprinting, or inscribing of the divine in the human heart.

Es handelt sich um einen Kasualdruck, der 1662 anlässlich eines Trauerfalles produziert wurde und ein deutschsprachiges Trostlied enthält. Dieses Lied ist in der GerhardtForschung bislang gänzlich unbeachtet geblieben. Der Text wird nun erstmals ediert, analysiert und interpretiert.

This is the first English monograph on Patriarch Sylvester of the Church of Antioch (1724–1766), based on extensive Greek, Arabic and Romanian sources, many unknown before. Sylvester faced various challenges stemming from the ever changing balance of power between the Latin Church, the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Western interests in the Levant and the Ottoman rule.

In Europe, the eighteenth century was the century of the Enlightenment, which reshaped Christianity with its critique of the traditional authorities. This is also reflected in the various art forms. At the same time, the arts underwent their own transformation, evolving into domains of a single art that, when acknowledged as an independent entity, became the subject of a new discipline –aesthetics.

In The Gospel Its Own Witness (1799), Andrew Fuller not only engaged with Thomas Paine’s attack on Christianity and on the reliability of the Bible, but also interacted with the philosophical position of a number of Enlightenment thinkers. This critical edition is based on the third edition of Fuller’s treatise (1802) and includes a detailed introduction that sets the work in its provenance.

The biographies in this volume outline the lives and impact of the last eight archbishops and electors of Trier. Some of them belonged to the major imperial dynasties, while some were members of the regional aristocracy. What they all had in common was that, in their double role as spiritual shepherds and worldly regents, they were confronted with the challenges presented by the Thirty Years’ War, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution.

Challenges for the ethnic and religious minorities in the time of the Habsburg Monarchy during the heyday of European nationalism fostered existential fears and defence mechanisms. In the 20th century, the world wars, but also the ideologies of Nazism and communism threatened to disintegrate the church community in Romania. After a wave of emigration at the end of the 20th century, the small church acts as a bridge builder.

Er nutzt und entwickelt dazu Methoden digital unterstützter Textforschung, die für den theologischen Gebrauch fruchtbar gemacht werden. Dadurch werden bisher unsichtbare Entwicklungen und Zusammenhänge im Gesamtwerk Schleiermachers sichtbar gemacht. Die Arbeit fragt dabei auch nach dem Verhältnis von akademischer Theologie und homiletischer Praxis.

Auf Grundlage unveröffentlichter Vorlesungstexte u.a. zum Philipperbrief machen die interdisziplinären Beiträge dieses Bandes deutlich, wie eine zukünftige Edition aller exegetischen Vorlesungen das Gesamtbild Schleiermachers komplettieren und verändern kann.

The New Testament writings play an important role in Schleiermacher’s understanding of Christianity. So far, scholars have not had access to his lectures on this topic.

For Uruguayan Jesuit theologian Juan Luis Segundo, freedom is a central quality of faith. He connects freedom with existence, and together, this forms the method he uses to approach God. While this combines inspiration from Vatican II with continental philosophy, especially existentialism, Segundo’s liberation theology presents a type of Christian personalism and ecumenism.

Key doctrines in Barth’s corpus are systematically examined as they relate to formulating a hermeneutic of faith.

Karl Barths Theologie wird besser verstanden, wenn man sie im Kontext der Säkularisierung und der bereits zu seiner Zeit um sie geführten Debatten liest. Von dieser These her untersucht diese Studie Barths spezifische "Theologie der Welt", also seinen theologischen Blick auf nichtchristliche Menschen, den säkularen Staat und die profane Kultur. Sie porträtiert so eine Theologie, die stets betonte, dass auch die säkulare Welt die Welt Gottes sei.

Karl Barth’s theology is better understood when it is read in the context of secularization and the debates that surrounded it during his time. This is the starting point for this volume’s examination of Barth’s specific "theology of the world," that is, his theological perspective on non-Christians, the secular state, and profane culture. It paints a picture of a theology that constantly emphasized that the secular world is also God’s world.

Rache und Vergeltung kehren wieder: aggressive Emotionen werden positiver bewertet, die Vergeltungstheorie der Strafe hat wieder Konjunktur und vergeltende Praktiken scheinen ethnologisch oder evolutionär hochfunktional zu sein. Wie verträgt sich eine solche Aufwertung mit einer christlichen Sicht auf das menschliche Zusammenleben? Der Band bündelt aktuelle Entwicklungen pointiert und reagiert aus theologischer Perspektive darauf. Rache; Vergeltung; Anthropologie; Strafrechtstheorie

Revenge and retribution are making a comeback: aggressive emotions are being assessed more positively, the retribution theory of punishment is back in vogue, and retaliatory practices seem to serve a crucial role from both an ethnographic and evolutionary standpoint. How can this kind of valorization be reconciled with a Christian view of human coexistence? This volume succinctly captures current developments through a theological lens.

Bedeutsamkeit spielt eine wichtige Rolle in der Geschichte hermeneutischer Philosophie, nicht nur bei Dilthey, Heidegger und Blumenberg, doch gibt es kaum Untersuchungen dazu. Zwischen deutungsbedürftiger Vagheit und sinnstiftender Überbestimmtheit gibt Bedeutsames zu denken, interessiert und fordert heraus, ohne dass man diese Dynamik final auf den Begriff bringen könnte – was sie insbesondere für die Religionsphilosophie aufschlussreich macht.

Religionsphilosophie; Hermeneutik; Symbol; Mythos

Significance has played a crucial role in the history of hermeneutic philosophy – and not just in Dilthey, Heidegger, and Blumenberg. However, there are few studies on the concept. Between vagueness requiring interpreta-

tion and over-determination that generates meaning, what is significant is interesting, thought-provoking, and challenging. This dynamic cannot be pinpointed – which makes it particularly enlightening in the philosophy of religion.

Paul Ricœur hat sich ausführlich mit der Bedeutsamkeit von Symbolen, Metaphern und Erzählungen auseinandergesetzt und phänomenologische, strukturalistische, psychoanalytische sowie Einflüsse der Analytischen Philosophie für die Hermeneutik fruchtbar gemacht, was besonders für die Religionsphilosophie gewinnbringend ist.

Dieser Band setzt die begriffsgeschichtlichen Studien zum Bedeutsamkeitsbegriff fort, kann aber auch für sich gelesen werden. Ricœur, Paul; Symbol; Religionsphilosophie; Metaphern

Paul Ricœur engaged extensively with the significance of symbols, metaphors, and narratives, drawing on phenomenological, structuralist, and psychoanalytical influences, as well as on influences from analytical philosophy, to enrich hermeneutics. This proves to be particularly beneficial for the philosophy of religion. This volume is a continuation of the studies on the concept of significance, but can also be read in itself.

Von 1925 bis 1929 lehrte Paul Tillich an der Sächsischen Technischen Hochschule Dresden. Es waren dramatische Jahre der Weimarer Republik, um deren Deutung hart gekämpft wurde. Die Beiträge thematisieren erstmals Tillichs Dresdner Wirksamkeit, zeichnen sie in die Intellektuellen-Diskurse der Zeit ein, rekonstruieren sie in diesem Horizont und präsentieren auf diese Weise ein facettenreiches Bild seiner Theologie und Religionsphilosophie.

From 1925 to 1929, Paul Tillich taught at the Saxon Technical University in Dresden. These were turbulent years in the Weimar Republic, their interpretation fiercely contested. This volume is the first to examine Tillich’s influence in Dresden, situating it within the intellectual discourses of the time, reconstructing it against that backdrop, and thereby painting a multifaceted picture of his theology and philosophy of religion.

This book is the first English in-depth treatment of Habermas’ Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie. Here, Habermas uses the relationship between “faith” and “knowledge” to trace the origins and development of philosophy from its joint genealogy with religion in the axial age to the present day. In order to discuss Habermas’ impressive trajectories, the author draws on research in New Testament studies, Patristics, the Middle Ages and Nominalism. Habermas; Philosophy; Religious history

Verantwortung ist zu einem Schlüsselbegriff geworden, dessen Ambivalenz evangelische Ethik bislang kaum reflektiert hat. Das holt dieser Band mit Kategorien aus Praxissoziologie und Imaginationstheorie nach, indem er den Bedeutungsmehrwert des Begriffs herausarbeitet und Vorstellungswelten der Verantwortung erkundet. Es werden Orientierungen für die konkrete Zurechnung fehlbarer Verantwortung im Horizont des Unverantwortbaren entwickelt.

Verantwortung; Bonhoeffer, Dietrich; Soziologie; Imagination

Responsibility has become a key term, the ambivalence of which evangelical ethics has scarcely reflected on so far. This volume addresses this omission by employing categories from the sociology of practice and the theory of imagination, drawing out the semantic value of the concept and exploring the imaginative realms of responsibility. It develops guidelines for attributing fallible responsibility against the backdrop of the unjustifiable.

Examining transformations within trajectories of spiritual and moral growth, the contributors to this volume make manifest how individuals move, or should move, in one way or another, away from the pursuit of solipsistic satisfactions, through the practice of self-awareness and the performance of social attentiveness, toward the prioritization of shared values.

Sigmund Freud sah in der Bilderlosigkeit der jüdischen Religion einen „Fortschritt in der Geistigkeit“ auf dem Weg zu einer aufgeklärten Geistigkeit als dem Ziel der Psychoanalyse als Krankenbehandlung und Kulturtheorie. Im Gegensatz zu der häufigen Gleichsetzung von Freuds Religionskritik mit einem psychoanalytischen Atheismus zeigt der vorliegende Band die Bedeutung der spirituellen Suche in der aktuellen Psychoanalyse und Psychotherapie.

Spritual Turn; Psychoanalyse; Spiritualität; Religion

Sigmund Freud saw Judaism’s aniconism as "progress in Geistigkeit" on the way to enlightened spirituality, which he believed was the objective of psychoanalysis as a treatment and cultural theory. Unlike the widespread interpretation that equates Freud’s critique of religion with psychoanalytical atheism, this volume reveals the significance of the search for the spiritual in current psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.

Interviews mit Senior/-innen, die in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen leben, zeigen deren spirituelle Bedürfnisse und Krisenerfahrungen auf. Dem gegenüber steht die Wahrnehmung der Mitarbeitenden, die diese Bedürfnisse erfassen und einen Beitrag zu ihrer Erfüllung leisten sollen. Analyse und Vergleich der Aussagen beider Gruppen bilden die Grundlage, um Schlussfolgerungen für die pflegerische Arbeit in der stationären Altenpflege zu ziehen.

Interviews with seniors living in long-term care facilities shed light on their spiritual needs and experiences in times of crisis.

The significant participation of Jewish men and women in medieval European daily life and economy is common knowledge in modern Jewish Studies. In general, it is assumed that most of the objects used by Jews were made by Christian craftspeople. However, many Jewish craftspeople are documented in our sources and have not yet been studied adequately. This book aims to fill this gap by looking into their share in crafts, their objects and materials.

Hasidic groups have many customs. While Halakha denotes the “bar of holiness” for ordinary Jews, these customs represent the higher threshold expected of Hasidim, meant to justify their title as hasidim (“pious”).

This book analyzes how 19th-century hasidic authors perceived the new norms of their movement. As a test case, it examines a particularly restrictive hasidic norm enacted in the 20th century, sexual abstinence among married men.

This book follows the origins of the Kedushta, a sequence of poems that leads up to the epitome of Jewish prayer, the Kedusha or Sanctus. It tracks back the earliest forms of prayer in late antiquity and by doing so defines the main characteristics of this genre, both from the standpoint of Rhetoric and poetics. This genre draws from Midrash and Mysticism- adjacent literary forms that influence liturgical poetry.

Der Jalkut Schimoni ist ein Sammelwerk rabbinischer Auslegungen zur gesamten Hebräischen Bibel. Unerforscht ist, nach welchen Kriterien die Auslegungen ausgewählt wurden und ob das Werk als umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für exegetische Fragen, zur Verbindung von Bibelauslegung in Talmud und Midrasch oder zur Reform der rabbinischen Auslegungstradition konzipiert wurde. Die Übersetzung des Werkes ist ein erster Schritt, diese Fragen zu beantworten. Bibelauslegung; Kompilationsliteratur; Midrasch; Talmud

The Yalkut Schimoni compiles Rabbinical interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. The criteria used to select them are still unclear, nor do we know if the volume was conceptualized to act as a comprehensive reference work for exegetical issues, to connect biblical interpretations in the Talmud and Midrash, or to reform the rabbinical interpretative tradition. The translation of this volume is a first step toward answering these questions. Biblical exegesis; compilation literature; Midrash; Talmud

What is the meaning of the Jewish rites of initiation known as “bar and bat mitzvah” in the modern age, at a time when so many other traditions have fallen by the wayside? These ceremonies have not only been preserved, but are celebrated by more Jewish families and demand greater financial, psychological, and family resources than ever before. The book maps and analyzes the transformation of the rituals and endeavors to understand their meanings.

Jonathan Adams (University of Gothenburg) introduces the background to Löwe’s "mirror" and presents the original Swedish text alongside an annotated English translation. It shows how Christian ethnographical writing about Jewish ceremonies arrived in Sweden long before Judereglementet of 1782.

This book reevaluates the Qur’an both in its general late antique context and in its close West Arabian context, for a better understanding of certain narrative choices, narrative changes over time, and its articulations with other texts and perspectives.

This volume is a study in the history of the reception of the Qur’ān in the early Islamic centuries. By investigating writings on the Qur’ān across different genres, not only by Muslims, but also by Arabophone Christians, it maps the exegetical trajectories of key qur’ānic passages in the early Islamic period. The picture we get is an exegetical feedback loop, with Christians relying on, as well as reacting to, Muslim data, and vice versa.

The libraries of Tunis are considered lost since the sack of the city by European armies in 1535. This study reconstructs the original holdings of Tunis’ medieval libraries by bringing together dispersed manuscripts from over 30 library collections worldwide. The outcome is twofold: the book maps the networks of the first European Orientalists and, by doing so, retrieves from oblivion an important piece of North African manuscript culture.

In 1456, with the help of the Muslim faqīh Yça Gidelli, Juan de Segovia accomplished a trilingual Qur'an (Castilian, Arabic and Latin) he regarded as fundamental to the conversion of the Muslims after the Ottoman conquest of Byzantium. This book delves into Segovia's conversion program, from his university lectures to the disputes he held with Muslims, from the doctrinal debates at the Council of Basel to his exile and the destiny of his books.

„Kulturen des Sehens“ untersucht die arabischen Terminologie für Sehprozesse in ihrer ganzen Breite. Methodisch fundiert wird aus neun Ausschnitten der islamischen Kulturgeschichte die Signifikanz des Visuellen herausgearbeitet und der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Alltagsphysik, Literatur und Naturphilosophie beleuchtet. Wie genau läuft der Sehprozess ab und was wird schließlich als Sitz der Erkenntnis angenommen: Herz oder Hirn?

Cultures of Seeing examines the full bandwidth of Arabic terminology for processes of seeing. Taking a methodologically sound approach, it explores the significance of visuality through nine excerpts from Islamic cultural history, shedding light on the close connections between everyday life, literature, and natural philosophy. How does the process of seeing unfold, and what is ultimately considered the seat of knowledge: the heart or the brain?

The book examines discussions of historical hermeneutical approaches to the Qur’an among Muslims today. The debates demonstrate the sophistication with which proponents and contestants of an historical treatment of the Qur’an engage in discussions and employ political rationalities. Understanding the socio-political dimensions of the debates aids in exploring ways for a rapprochement between Western academic and Islamic qur’anic studies.

This study argues for a new view of contemporary Arab thought by analyzing the idea of time that underlies key discussions over Arab heritage (turāth). Focusing on three authors, it shows how their work was shaped by a linear temporality and how they break with a common understanding of Arab thought by critiquing its temporal basis. This analysis leads to a richer engagement with contemporary Arab thought that brings out its moral dimensions.

This is the first book in English that addresses how the Hashemite monarchy in Iraq endorsed television in 1956. After King Faisal II's advisors lost a "radio war" to Egypt's shortwave service "Voice of the Arabs" in 1953, Iraq became the first Arab jurisdiction to introduce television. This happened on the eve of the 14 July 1958 coup. The book frames this change of medium in the context of national and regional politics.

It analyzes her views on five controversial issues – marriage, polygamy, divorce, inheritance rights, and veiling – in light of Qur’anic exegeses offered by classical scholars and contemporary Muslim feminists.

He steered Orientalist portraitists’ ways in painting him, to appeal to an international audience. The book explores how certain paradigms formed which continue to shape modern Egyptian historiography and Egyptian collective memory.

What, actually, meant “modernisation” for the 19th-century Middle Easterner? Stephan Guth finds the essence of the so-called Arab(ic) “Renaissance” (and corresponding movements in Turkish) in emerging subjectivity and the subjects’ new attitude towards the World as the field of their agency. This collection of essays on language, literature, and key concepts reflects the author’s lifelong engagement with the culture of this period.

Die wichtigsten theoretischen Grundlagen für systematische Untersuchungen zum ‚orientalischen‘ Italien sollen anhand der Beispiele Palermo und Apulien durch europäische Reiseberichte gelegt werden. Zur Sprache gebracht werden auch die historischen, rhetorischen, symbolischen und ästhetischen Mehrdeutigkeiten des Landes.

The Yolcılıḳ Kitābı (Travel Book) written by Ottoman statesman Hayrullah Efendi about Europe makes it difficult for the reader to reconstruct the precise route his journey took. This is because it was an attempt to translate the genre of the modern travel guide into Ottoman literature. The transcription and translation of essential parts of the text have now made its complex structure clear and comprehensible for the first time.

This book examines the history of Christian and Muslim student associations at the universities of Lomé (Togo) and AbomeyCalavi (Benin) since the 1970s. It traces their emergence under authoritarian regimes and examines their impact on the secular nature of these public institutions. In the face of rising university enrolments and graduate unemployment, these groups now offer a "social curriculum" that goes beyond religious guidance.

This volume outlines the urban development of eight cities in the Middle East and North Africa: Aleppo, Alexandria, Ankara, Cairo, Casablanca, Dubai, Nouakchott, and Shiraz. Ottoman rule and colonial powers, French or British, operated differently and over various time spans in these cities to influence architecture and the urban scene. Global movements such as modernism and socialism reshaped the cityscapes of intersecting histories and cultures.

Hazaras were historically a marginal community in Afghanistan. Since 2001 Hazaras gained greater visibility in the country. This shift in the community’s circumstances, greatly impacted self-perceptions among Hazaras. Political mobilisation and transnational connections have been central to this collective consciousness and action. It is this shift, which has immensely impacted Hazara ethnic consciousness, that is the focus of this book.

As the core of Early Modern Ottoman poetry, love inspired a plethora of Turkish research, the most enlightening of which explored questions of terminology, semantics, and mystic dimensions. Internationally, however, there have been few publications on this subject. This book scrutinizes the different strands of ‘ıshḳ, passionate love, their various backgrounds, and studies specific poets who engaged with this multifaceted concept.

Today, the political situation in the Middle East and the situation of Muslims as minorities in Europe constitute important backdrops to the relationship between Muslims and Jews. Based on data from qualitative individual interviews, this book explores narratives about Jews among Muslims in contemporary Norway.

Sin is a central concept in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Yet it seems hardly comprehensible to secular people. Even within theology, the meaning of sin is often disputed. Where does sin come from? Is man radically corrupted by sin? How does sin relate to man’s redemption, toward which all three religions aim? The book analyzes what is understood by sin in each of the three monotheistic religions and points out commonalities and differences.

Employing Wittgenstein's insights on language and religion for theology, particularly within interreligious discourse, stands as an enduring research desideratum. This volume is unprecedented in bringing together Jewish, Christian and Muslim perspectives on the grammar of the word ‘God’. It thus unveils fresh horizons for a deeper comprehension of its meaning, illuminating the intersections and disparities among these traditions in this regard.

Am Hof von Šāh ‘Abbās I. setzte er sich für politische Allianzen gegen die Osmanen und für ein neues katholisches Zentrum (Nuova Roma di Oriente) ein. Wegen kontroverser interreligiöser Debatten schrieb er eine persische Polemik, die als Quelle zur Analyse katholisch-schiitischer Positionierungen übersetzt und kommentiert wird.

Arabischsprachige Evangelikale in Israel stehen in einem komplexen Identitätskonflikt: Die Betonung des Glaubens in Abgrenzung zu dem in Israel dominierenden Religionsverständnis mit rechtlicher und politischer Wirkung führt zu einer Auseinandersetzung um die religiöse Identität; zugleich verschärft der christlich-evangelikale Zionismus die Auseinandersetzung um die nationale Identität zwischen Arabisch, Palästinensisch und Israelisch.

Is there "theology" in the canonical text, in spite of its inner plurality? Should reception be regarded as an integral part of revelation and/or of the inspiration process? Such questions are raised in relation to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Inspiration; Theology; Revelation; Reception

The diversity of secularities is rooted in different configurations of problems and interests, varying forms of encounters with hegemonic powers of ‘the West’, and distinct cultural imprints and historical path dependencies. As a result, very different conditional structures have emerged in different societies, each resulting in unique, often controversial, and sometimes fragile forms of secularity.

This series of sourcebooks brings together sources related to the conceptual distinctions and institutional differentiations between religion and other social spheres around the globe. The first volume maps the academic debate on secularity, while the subsequent six volumes are dedicated to different regions, highlighting both regional specificities and transregional connections in the formation of global secularity.

“Multiple Secularities – Beyond the West, Beyond Modernities,” is a project from the Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Leipzig University.

Charles S. Peirce’s semiotics best explains the "performativity" of ancient religious verbal and non-verbal signs such as divine names, signs only partially understood by ancient authors. Sign meaning is always dependent on fluid processes of interpretation. Examples are drawn from ancient Israelite and late antique divine representations, apostle Paul’s linguistic letter/spirit model, Christian debates representing the deity, and Burning Man.

How can the emergence of religion be understood without attributing it either to religious self-description or to the human psyche? The book shows how religion can be described consistently as a genuinely social fact. To this end, it draws on three theories: evolutionary, systems, and sign theory. The approach makes religion understandable as a sign system of meaning-making for dealing with indeterminable contingency.

Certain religious behaviours clearly reduce biological fitness. These behaviours include celibacy along with various forms of asceticism, and rituals that harm the performer. Such behaviours are found in widely different cultures. How is this possible? This book shows that these behaviours (as is religion in general) are by-products of features of the human mind whose evolutionary fitness is beyond doubt and explores those features.

Within some religions, the inside view is engaged mainly with questions of theology: the contemplation of the divine and all things in relation thereto. Within others, it is preoccupied with the conforming of human action to a more-than-human law. In yet other, an emic perspective focuses on the practice and experience of ritual. Reflection on sacred texts is common to many traditions, yet often differs in the consideration of the same documents Religion; religious studies; religious traditions

Andererseits bettet sie ihren Untersuchungsgegenstand ein in eine Umwelt, die von Säkularisierung und einer Politisierung des Religiösen geprägt ist.

Was ist religiöse Gewalt? Dieser Frage gehen Geschichtswissenschaftlerinnen und Geschichtswissenschaftler erstmals konsequent mit ihren eigenen Methoden nach. Sie hinterfragen Definitionen und untersuchen die Relationen von Gewalthandeln und deren Legitimierung. Mit empirischen Analysen zu verschiedenen Zeiten, Kulturen und Regionen zeigen sie epochenspezifische Merkmale und historischen Wandel eines bleibenden Problems unserer Gegenwart auf. Martyrium; Verfolgung; Krieg; Historisierung

For the first time, historians try to systematically answer this question using their own methods. They scrutinize definitions and examine the relationships between acts of violence and their legitimation. By carrying out empirical analyses of various periods, cultures and regions, they the reveal epoch-specific characteristics and historical transformations of a lingering contemporary problem.
